Strengthening Post-Hospitalization Transitions of Care for Patients with Substance Use Disorders

Strengthening Post-Hospitalization Transitions of Care for Patients with Substance Use Disorders   

Transitions of care following hospitalization remain critical for patients with substance use disorders, and gaps in coordination lead to missed follow-up, relapse, and readmission. This Grand Rounds will examine the structural, clinical, and social barriers that hinder effective linkage to care after discharge and compare established and emerging models to improve continuity. Attendees will gain practical strategies to strengthen care transitions and learn how to better support patients with substance use disorders after hospitalization.

Speaker:
Michael Incze, MD, MSEd, a former UCSF internal medicine resident, is an associate professor of medicine in the Division of General Internal Medicine at the University of Utah and a primary care and addiction medicine physician. His work focuses on improving transitions of care from acute settings for people with substance use disorders, including the design and implementation of novel care models. He serves as the associate program director of the University of Utah Addiction Medicine Fellowship and co-director of the JAMA Internal Medicine Editorial Fellowship.
